It isn't safe to thaw any meat at room temperature because the meat will warm up unevenly and bacterial load will increase more on the warmest spots. You can't be certain which bacteria they are and cooking might not kill them all off.

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.


Would uncooked frozen chicken that was left out for approximately 13 hours be safe to eat after cooking?

It is not safe to eat uncooked frozen chicken that has been left out at room temperature for 13 hours, as it would have entered the temperature danger zone where bacteria can rapidly multiply. Cooking the chicken may not destroy all the harmful bacteria that could have grown on the chicken during that time. It is best to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
